Recently, low-dimensional materials have attracted great attention, not only because of novel physics, but also because of potential applications in electronic devices, where performance drives innovation. This thesis ...

Reconstituting silk cocoons into aqueous protein solutions allows for the mechanical properties of silk to be utilized in non-fibrous forms. However, the exact impact of reconstitution on the protein was previously unknown. ...

Nanoprecipitation is a self-assembly process for forming nanoparticles by replacement of a good solvent in which multiple materials are dissolved with a poor solvent. It has demonstrated its advantages of easy setup, good ...

The nanoprecipitation method is a simple and convenient way to produce nanoparticles from small molecules and polymers in solution. The underlying mechanism, which plays a pivotal role in the control of nanoparticle size ...
